At the same time ,he did .conceive that there might • be points irf, the practice of tiett Cort not Wholly • fiee from imputation, hevliad no doubt that that practice was in strid consonancetO•firiner thage.' For. instance, he understood .that if during a war with any particUlar power; a .vessel should ; be sent into +lns cOnntry for adjodicatien„ and this tessel.should turn out, and•be ,adjudged, to be the property of a 'friendly power, yet the captors. - had . .1 right to optical, and if e during the appeal, till; ooun .try should go to war with fetch Power,then ',pelt vessel woudd be deemed;a lawftil prize.
